A shocking video has been making rounds on the internet, showing an adult coach from the 9U football team Savannah Gators striking a 9-year-old child on the helmet, not once but twice, with force.
The incident reportedly took place during a game in Kissimmee, Florida, at the American Youth Football National Championships.
LeBron James, the NBA superstar from the Los Angeles Lakers, also came across the video. He took to his Instagram story and expressed his outrage, hinting at taking action against the coach if it were his child who was hit.
In response to the backlash, the Savannah Gators’ Facebook page posted a message, attempting to defend their organization and stating that what happened was unacceptable. They mentioned that the coach involved, who was the head coach for the 9U team, had overstepped boundaries with a young player.
Despite the attempt to address the situation, many individuals, including LeBron, found the apology insufficient and expressed their disdain for the coach’s actions. The video has sparked widespread outrage and calls for accountability for the coach’s behavior.
